Karl Pauli papers

The Karl Pauli papers, with a few exceptions, exclude the early years of Pauli's life and instead document his activism from the Depression to the end of his life. The material includes a great deal of correspondence and literary productions, both by Pauli and by others. Many pamphlets and books that obviously influenced him are also included, as is virtually everything he wrote both in published and manuscript form. Magazines and publications by the various groups to which he belonged are also included as are many personal items such as reminiscences, correspondence, snapshots, and poetry.

The Collection begins with correspondence, arranged chronologically, and some of Pauli's reminiscences. Literary productions follow and are arranged by subject: from taxation of the church to phallic "worship", as well as Pauli's poetry. Some background sources directly affecting and contributing to Pauli's work in these specific subjects are included in the literary productions. More indirect influences on Pauli's philosophy may be found in the printed material section, including various subscriptions Pauli held later in his life, and some books and pamphlets. Printed materials are arranged in an essentially chronological manner with those that Karl Pauli had a direct involvement with, preceding those he merely subscribed to and collected. The Karl Pauli papers conclude with photographs of Pauli and his family, a scrapbook, cassette tapes of several of his talks, and a plaque Pauli received.

Incoming correspondence largely relating to Pauli's organizing activities, group involvement, etc. Some personal correspondence as well--including greeting cards. Also scattered copies of Pauli's own letters kept for reference.

Writings included on rationalism, socialism, environmentalism, Phallic worship, education, etc. Also included are drafts for specific writings (some later published), several folders of miscellaneous notes and loose pages of narrative, manuscripts, and Pauli's poetry.

Very scant amount of Pauli's financial and legal documentation--budgets, financial reports, stock certificates and real estate information.

Various documents, diagrams, maps, lists, and Pauli's scrapbook of pertinent clippings with commentary on them.

PAULI'S PUBLICATIONS; 1939-1971, undated; arranged chronologically. These include pamphlets by Pauli as well as articles, letters to the editor and publications edited by Pauli.

PUBLICATIONS BY OTHERS; 1935-1978, undated; arranged chronologically within subject. These include some newsletters which Pauli was involved with, as well as publications for organizations Pauli belonged to and subscriptions Pauli had. An extensive collection of pamphlets and small books that obviously influenced Pauli's rationale conclude the printed materials portion of the collection.

Photographs of Pauli and his family, including Pauli with Madalyn O'Hair and the posthumous photo of Pauli in his coffin. Many earlier pictures of Pauli and his wife, as well as a family scrapbook are included.

Three cassette tapes of various Pauli speeches, including Phallic worship, among others.
